You sir are a gentleman and a scholar

Thank you ever so much for this! I did buy all the premium modules back when they were available, and it hacks me off no end that the companies expect those of us who did to just pretend it never happened and never want to play it again. >.<

So you guys are awesome!

Sorry for another necro but how do I use the .dat creator. (Also didn't want to create a new thread when it is the same topic)

When I d/l it is shows as a utorrent file which when I try to run it says it is not a correct torrent encode.

Get it here, and follow the instructions. :)

"This tool allows you to generate small 1KB *.DAT files which, when placed in your "premium" folder, will allow you to bypass the online authentication of premium modules."

Also I can confirm making a new game without the above modifications doesn't work, you can only continue premium modules games made back when the master server was up. But the saves load way longer compared to back then, at least without the dat files.
